Alien Highway (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - UFO Terror - full transcript
A man, troubled by a past encounter seeks out the help of our team. Despite the initial skepticism they might find there's something to his story, even though the provided evidence seems unconvincing at best.
NARRATOR:
Next on "Alien Highway"...
- Now, what are these "them"?
- Good question.
♪♪
Where's that brightness
coming from?
Oh, a spaceship?
MAN: You all can kiss my ass
if you think I'm [bleep] nuts.
What the [bleep]?
Yeah, the lights
across the river right there?
That's one of their lights.
The red light's a warning.
It's like when
you've crossed the line.
CHUCK: There's something
happening across our land.
It's carving a terrifying path.
- Right there.
- Whoa!
Lawmen don't want
to talk about it.
I have no idea
how you would explain that.
And the government denies
it's even happening.
ANCHORMAN:
The White House has dismissed
a full UFO investigation.
Those who speak up face ridicule
or even worse.
ANCHORWOMAN: An El Paso County
Sheriff's Deputy
fired from his job.
They took my badge,
but they can't take my voice.
I'm determined to uncover
what's happening.
Look at that thing!
Do you see that?
I saw it that night.
I listen to people
who are afraid to speak out.
Nobody's gonna believe me.
CHUCK: I find evidence
that's hiding in plain sight.
This is it right here.
Together with my son,
Dan Zukowski...
It's absolutely moving
right now.
CHUCK:...and investigator,
Heather Taddy,
We never really get this close.
I'm here to find the truth...
- I see it!
- Aah!
CHUCK:...along America's
Alien Highway.
♪♪
NARRATOR: St. Clair, Missouri.
Situated in the heart
of the Ozark Mountains,
the area has a rich history
of UFO sightings.
There have been over
2,000 reports since 1950,
including a mountaintop
extraterrestrial encounter
that made front-page news.
But what about the stories
that don't make headlines?
What happens when it's just
one family suffering in silence,
allegedly targeted by UFOs?
♪♪
I was contacted by this family
in St. Clair, Missouri,
about all this activity
that is going on.
The main witness,
Steve Dalling,
he lives along
the Merrimack River.
And he's seen balls of light
in the sky.
STEVE: You got to see
this [bleep] up here, dude.
CHUCK: He's even captured
some activity on video.
CHUCK: We're getting one of
these mother[bleep] on film.
Obviously, we need
to get out there
'cause I want firsthand
knowledge of
the situation going on.
Does the family feel pretty
threatened by the activity?
What I'm concerned about
is distressed voices.
When I talked to him
over the phone,
it was, "We need you.
We need you right now."
They don't know where to turn.
They don't know who to talk to.
The local authorities won't
help them, can't help them.
They're really not prepared
for anything like this.
Sounds like they're in pretty
desperate need of our help.
We need to be here.
We need to find out what's
going on at this family's house.
♪♪
There it is right there.
Whoa.
♪♪
- Howdy.
- Chuck Zukowski.
Steve.
You guys want to come on in?
- Yeah.
- Come on in.
CHUCK: This family claims
to be terrorized,
maybe even targeted,
by UFO activity.
It's gotten so bad that Steve's
wife is staying with family.
She's so afraid.
- Oh, what a view.
- What a view!
DAN: Wow!You get to look at this
every day.
STEVE: Every day.
That was the keyword
when we bought the place --
location -- my wife and I.
So, you've lived out here
for a while now, right?
12 years now we've lived here.
And so, you're obviously
very experienced
with the environment.
You probably fished this area.
I'm an outdoors guy and the kind
of guy to start with.Okay.
So you just notice things that
don't look right or sound right.
And then when they start
repeating themselves,
you take note.
What have you seen out here?
Well, lights.
Where did you actually see
the lights, now?
The activity itself is
taking place in these woods.
Orange balls of light --
they drop down to about
200 feet above the trees.
Travel up and down.
Some go across horizontally
along the horizon but...
Called my wife back here, check
it out with the binoculars.
She's looking at it,
and then she says, "Oh, my God."
She goes,
"I see one, two, three."
She counts to five.
She goes, "I see five of them."
And there's no airports
on the other side of --
No. Nothing out there.
When you see them, Steve,
are they always orange?
- No, they change colors.
- They change colors?
- Okay.
- Yes.
STEVE: According to how close
you get to them.
The orange ones I call --
they're the babysitter.
It's just like it's watching
what you're doing.
If you get too close and you
start becoming aggressive
or you try to interfere
with them in any way,
you get a red light.
Have you noticed
environment changes,
anything unusual you've seen?
- Oh, yeah.
The biggest change
that's very noticeable
is that the trees out here --
I've heard 15, 20 trees
snap in half or fall.
And we're not talking little --
big trees.
How about the animals here?
Right before
the lights show up,
do you hear any of
the animals make noise,
the dogs start barking
or anything?
My dogs react to them.
Dogs apparently can see
and hear them.
Now, what are these "them"?
Well, good question.
That's what I've been
trying to find out.
It was all cool and fascinating
and all that
when it was out there,
but when things started
happening here in the house...
Activity actually
in the house?
Yes. Yes.
In the house, around the house.
- When?
- During the night.
We've had things that move.
We've gotten noises that go
on down in the basement.
HEATHER:
What does it sound like?
Somebody throwing stuff around,
a voice every now and then.
What Steve is describing,
the things that are happening
in his house --
strange noises and voices --
are definitely unusual.
So, Heather's background as
a paranormal investigator
is gonna be a big asset.
So we have something inside.
We have something outside.
Yeah, I mean, we're gonna have
to cover all the bases here.
There's a lot going on here.
So, Dan, we have Steve take you
and me to the area
where he's seen these lights.
I want to see if there's some
type of evidence out there.
Heather, it sounds like there's
some activity in the house.
You may want to hang back
for a bit.
I'd like to set up cameras
and find out
what rooms activity's
happening in.
We're gonna stay
in communication with radios.
If anything happens here,
you let me know.
If we see anything,
we're gonna let you know.
Yeah, and it's gonna get
a lot more interesting.
You'll see.
Let's get out there.
♪♪
NARRATOR: While Heather
sets up her cameras
to keep the house
under constant surveillance...
Please don't fall.
NARRATOR:...Chuck and Dan
venture into the woods,
searching for evidence
to corroborate Steve's accounts
of menacing,
unexplained lights.
But their first stop poses
more questions than answers.
Hey. Come here.
Come here. Come here.
See that orange light up
on that hillside up here?
Uh-huh.
That's one of them right there,
watching us.
There's nothing up there,
but it's an open field.
We'll see them
when we go back in.
♪♪
♪♪
Okay, can you zoom
in on that light?
There's a light up there.
Can you zoom in on it?
I'm pretty sure that's a rooftop
of a house right there, too.
♪♪
It's a house.
That light that he saw that he
claimed was one of them was not.
My assessment of Steve
at this point
is I'm a little unsure of what
he's claiming he's seeing.
When we looked out
to see the light,
you can clearly see the light
was attached to a house.
And now I'm thinking, "What else
has Steve been wrong about?"
♪♪
All right, Dad, I don't want to
shoot down Steve,
but how can you explain him
confusing house lights for UFOs?
It happens with individuals.
They can have one major event,
but they're so traumatized
by that one major event
that anything they see
after that...
You know what that's called?
It's called PTSD.
♪♪
STEVE: This is where it's been
hovering off the ground.
We're getting one of these
mother[bleep] on film.
♪♪
You get PTSD from --
Anything traumatizing in your
life, you can get PTSD from.
I've seen that in the past.
I mean, people who had
UFO sightings --
It appears that after that,
the witness thinks everything
they see is a UFO.
NARRATOR: After spending
the rest of the afternoon
in the woods,
and Steve's testimony
not adding up,
Chuck and Dan return to his
house to address their concerns.
I have to be honest with you.
Look, I wasn't expecting
to see something right away.Yeah.
But to confuse a UFO
with a house?[ Scoffs ]
This is where I start sounding
like a nut, a crazy man.
But you can see, like,
a physical...
Yes, everywhere you find
these things, you see one light,
and then you come back around,
there's another light.
Now, this hasn't
always happened.
It just started to happen.
- This year, yes.
- This year.
This year.So, there wasn't
a history of them?
- No.
- When you were growing up,
did you have any experiences
similar to this?
♪♪
Um, yeah.
DAN: What was that experience?
[ Sighs ]
[ Exhales ]
♪♪
He absolutely believes that
he was missing for two days.
[ Groaning ]
HEATHER: Is that you messing
with my light?

When you were growing up,
did you have
any experiences similar to this?
Uh, yeah.
DAN: What was that experience?
[ Sighs ]
[ Exhales ]
I just --
I'm not ready to tell that.
I mean, I don't like --
I don't like talking about it.
HEATHER: Yeah, we don't have
to talk about it.
♪♪
NARRATOR: Steve's unusual
reaction causes the team
to question the validity
of the investigation.
Well, we're gonna have
to talk about Steve.
Right now what I need
is non-biased opinions
from both of you about
what you heard inside there.
One thing that I observed
was when we attempted
to ask the question about
prior experiences, he froze up.
So it's apparent that
whatever happened
there was some sort of stress
related to that.
Once we dig deeper into that,
I think more of what he saw
then is gonna come out
to what he's seeing now.
From my past experiences,
I've worked with people
that have had really
traumatic experiences
when they were young.
It might be a good idea
if we bring in, like,
a regression hypnotherapist.
It's a way of unlocking
repressed memories
through hypnosis.
That's a really good idea.
We can get one over here
and see if we can bring out
some memories
that either he's hiding
or he doesn't want to
talk about.
NARRATOR: Heather reaches out to
a regression therapist
in St. Louis, who agrees
to take on the case.
Joan Krueger is a certified
hypnotherapist
with over two decades
experience
in conducting regression
therapy hypnosis.
The way that I describe
a person's subconscious mind --
It's the part
that holds everything
that we've ever experienced,
like a big filing cabinet.
When it comes to regression,
basically,
what we're doing is pulling
open the filing cabinet
to try to find
whatever information
that person
might be looking for.
Ready to go do this?
Um, I just wanted some time
in advance
to talk to him a little bit
about what hypnosis is
and how it works
and how he's gonna feel.
And I need to have some idea
of what we're searching for.
Okay.
NARRATOR: After meeting with
Steve and hearing details
about what he can recollect
from his traumatic experience,
Joan is now ready to begin his
regressive hypnotherapy session,
with the team monitoring
from the next room.
All right. You comfortable?
- I guess, yeah.
- All right.
Just take a nice, deep,
easy breath for me.
Exhale slowly.
Allow your body to begin
to relax completely.
Imagine that it's causing
your eyelids to become heavier
now than they were before.
Steve, try to open
for a second for me.
Very good.
Now, Steve, we know that that
very powerful part
of your mind is open.
I'd like for you to begin
to picture yourself
on the porch
of a little cabin.
That cabin is very comforting
and feels like
a safe place to you.
- Mm.
- Mm-hmm.
All right, so, when I touch
your hand, if we ever need to,
the minute I touch your hand,
you'll immediately be
at that safe place,
at that wonderful,
safe cabin.
Now let's go to that time
in your life when you were 17.
So, you start walking.
Then you told me
that you come to
a wall on the highway.
What happens next?
- The wall lights up?
- Yeah.
How does the wall light up?
Where is that brightness
coming from?
[ Groans ]
Oh, a spaceship?
Can you describe it?
[ Groans ]
Comes down on you?
Okay.
What comes next?
You're in a room? Okay.
What's in the room?
Some person?
It's not a person.
Can you describe this?
A long head and a neck?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
Big eyes?
- Yeah.
- Scary.
- I bet.
- Yeah.
I bet.
What happens next?
Where do you go?
Oh.
Can you tell me -- Relax.
Do you want to go
to your cabin for a minute?
Hey, Steve, your shotgun?
It's not brought because
of what's on the ground.
It's brought because of what
might approach us from the air.
- I saw a red moving light.
- The red light's the warning.
It's like when you've gone
too far.
♪♪
JOAN: What happens next?
Where do you go?
Oh. Can you tell me -- Relax.
Do you want to go
to your cabin for a minute?
You're okay.
You're right here with me.
Just go to your cabin
for a minute.
You're okay.
All right.
And then what happens?
Do you know where?
- It's far away.
- Yeah.
Do you know what happens then?
- You go back?
- Yeah.
Do you know how long
you're with them?
No?
Okay.
And then what happened?
What did you do then?
- And you wake up?
- Yeah.
Okay.
- Yeah.
- Very good.
Yeah.
So, Steve, I'm going to count.
You'll find that
with every number that I say,
you'll find yourself
coming back.
Five...
four...
three...
two...
and one.
So, do you remember
what you talked to me about?
I remember --
Yeah, everything.
You do? Good.
Is that stuff that you had
remembered previously?
Uh...not really.
So it's not what
you would have thought?
No, I've seen pictures
and images
that I hadn't seen before.
It's kind of weird.
I just could remember it,
you know?
I knew something wasn't right.
But I never knew what.
♪♪
That was very interesting.
So, in my opinion,
well, I believe that
he absolutely believes
that he was missing
for two days.
♪♪
I think it went really,
really well.
I didn't hear anything
where you were leading
the witness at any time.
- No.
It's not my job
to judge something.
My job is to get his mind
to come up
with whatever it might find.
That really didn't look like
anything was being faked.
No. I mean, he responded well
to my suggestions.
And the emotion that I saw --
In my experience,
you have to be
really good to fake all that.
I would never say,
"This is not true."
I would not.
Could his mind fabricate
a whole alien abduction?
Anything is possible.
But I believe him.
♪♪
Now he knows some of what was
going on in those two days.
Why he was missing for two days.
Right, which
he didn't know before.
- Mm-hmm.
- Wow.
That's phenomenal.
It is. It's amazing.
Steve went through something
pretty traumatic
when he was younger.
And watching his regression,
I definitely feel bad
for the guy.
NARRATOR:
Having now discovered that Steve
was the possible victim
of an alien abduction,
the team renews
their investigation,
searching for the orbs of light
that Steve has been
claiming to see.
Hey, Steve, I just saw you
bring out your shotgun.
- Is there one in the pipe?
- No, there's nothing chambered.
- Okay, that's good.
- Oh, that's good.
Never had to use it, but my mama
didn't raise no fool.
That's gonna stay
in your vehicle?
It stays in my vehicle
at all times.Okay.
It's not brought because
of what's on the ground.
It's brought because of what
might approach us from the air.
- Okay.
- All right.
But, you know, we don't know
what we're dealing with here.
You know, I mean,
you never know.
It's better to be safe
than sorry.Okay.
We're gonna drive on out there,
and the first place
we'll probably go is onto
the far end of the gravel bar,
where you're more than likely
gonna see the lights
and whatnot that go off
into the woods
and the surrounding area.
Okay. Sounds great.
- Great.
- Okay.
NARRATOR: Heather will continue
her investigation at the house,
while Steve leads Chuck and Dan
back into the woods,
where they hope this time
to uncover hard evidence.
♪♪
See this thing right here?
They've built this.
- This right here?
- This structure right here.
All these limbs and logs --
All this stuff piled up in here.
What the hell?
All right, well,
let's check it out.
What the hell is that?
Okay, this doesn't make sense.
I know, right?
And you have a picnic table
flipped over.
Yeah.
This is crazy.
These trees are over 500 pounds.
I don't see how any human
can move them around like this.
It's like -- I don't know.
It's got form.
I don't know if it's serving
a purpose or for why.
I don't know.
If it's a hobby of theirs?
No, it doesn't make sense.
As an investigator,
I need to keep looking
for that next level.
What's that little detail
that takes a situation like this
from strange
to the unexplained?
Dan, do you see
another structure over there?
Yeah, there's another one
over here.
Hang on a second.
This tree's been hit.
If you look at the top
of the tree,
it looks like it's been burned.
- Yeah.
We have burn marks that are
just a couple of days old.
Yet we have snow that's been
here for at least a week.
I don't see any tracks at all
anywhere in this area.
And so, now you have a focal
point of something
that's been hit, and you've got
a structure built at the base.
I want to go look over here.
♪♪
This has been burned, too.
You see, that structure's
built around the base
of a tree
that's been burned on the top.
That structure's built around
the base of a tree
that's also been burned on top.
Dan, look at the tree
the structure's built around
and see if the tree
at the top has been burned.
♪♪
This one's
got burn marks on it.
So that's three structures
around three trees
that have been burned.
Three separate trees now.
Now that's just not
a coincidence anymore.
What the hell was that?
- Right there.
- That's ground zero.
That's where they're at
in the woods.
HEATHER: Whoa.
♪♪
♪♪
NARRATOR:
After regression therapy reveals
a possible alien abduction,
Chuck and Dan discover
strange evidence
that could corroborate Steve's
claims of otherworldly visitors.
CHUCK: I'm trying to understand
what I'm seeing.
♪♪
When you come over here
and you look at this,
you have a picnic table
that was flipped on its side,
and you have this large tree
that's got to be close
to 500 pounds.
So, you have another one
over here that's got to be
at least 125 pounds
laying the other way.
And then we have a structure
over here with the same thing,
and then you've got
a burn mark.
So that's three structures
around three trees
that have been burned.
So far, it's weird,
but it could be so many things.
I have to see what else
Steve can show us out here
before I come to the conclusion
that any of this is UFO-related.
I think this is a perfect
location to set up a cam.
Probably over here,
looking in this direction.
You got the trail cam,
Dan?
- Yeah. Here it is.
- Do it, Dan.
- How's that look? Solid?
- All right.
Let's see if we get
something tonight.
Let's go to the next spot.
NARRATOR: While Chuck and Dan
set up motion-detector
trail cameras in the woods,
hoping to capture UFO activity,
Heather inspects
Steve's basement,
where he's reported
hearing unnatural sounds,
to see if she can
detect anything strange.
Using a thermal camera,
she searches beyond the spectrum
of human vision
for signs
of extraterrestrial presence.
The insulated suit prevents
body heat
from interfering
with her equipment.
HEATHER:
Careful on those stairs.

NARRATOR:
Meanwhile in the woods,
Chuck and Dan have arrived
at the location
that Steve claims is ground zero
for his UFO sightings.
So, where are we headed now?
This is where I started seeing
all the lights in the sky.
This is where you can see
the lights
from where they all gather
back here in the woods.
It's the best vantage point
for seeing things.
This is where it's been
hovering off the ground.
Me and Lisa have been
watching them right back here
through the woods
from the gravel bar.
This is where they travel
up and down.
The structures
that you're seeing --
all the limbs and the broken
trees and all that --
are all the way
down through here.
- Same thing.
- All right.
And it's about, I don't know,
a 100-yard walk,

that's one of their lights.
Oh, hey, over -- over here.
Here you go.
That one straight ahead of me,
that's ground zero.
That's where they're at
in the woods.

Stop a second. Shh. Shh.
There's something over there.
[ Dog barking in distance ]
Is that a dog?
Dogs apparently can see
and hear them,
and you can kind of
pretty much tell
where there's activity
by the sound of dogs.
[ Dogs barking ]
CHUCK:
Can you hear those dogs?
HEATHER:
Yeah, we can hear them.
Okay, well, Steve had said that
the dogs would start
acting up
before the activity.
So, Steve, where do you think
a good spot
would be to put up a camera
for overnight?
Over this way,
and aim it that direction.
And then what about neighbors
and stuff?
Do I worry about them
taking our stuff overnight?
No, you ain't got to worry about
nobody doing nothing like that.
- No.
- Okay, cool.
NARRATOR: While Chuck and Dan
continue searching for evidence
to support
Steve's claim of abduction,
Heather continues
to monitor his basement
for signs
of extraterrestrial activity.
Her EVP recorder can catch
any sounds
that are below the threshold
of human hearing.
We've had things that move.
You know, we've got noises
that go on down in the basement.
This is Taddy's recorder.

It was for about a second

do you think the light was?
At first, I was like,
"Okay, that's probably
a brake light
from that street,"
but then once
you get down in there
and look up,
the street is elevated.
So it would have had to have
been in that draw
that we were just walking in.
I don't know. I don't --
I don't know what that was.
I've heard that many times --
"Don't know what that was."
I haven't seen you like this.
I mean, you're
the skeptical one.
You actually saw something
out there, huh?
I don't know.
You know, now that
I think about it,
I might have been a little
quick to write Steve off.
But I saw a red light
in the woods.
We need to see what else
is out here.
HEATHER: Oh, my God.
That was definitely weird.
So, Steve reported strange
sounds in his basement.
And I'm searching around
on there,
and I'm not really
getting much.
And then suddenly,
I get a big response.
Is that you messing
with my light?

At this point,
I'm inclined to believe
Steve about the experiences
he's been having.
Doesn't normally do that.
That flickering flashlight
does feel like it
could have been a response
to one of my questions.
Now, I didn't hear any voices
when we were down there,
but there is a good chance
that my digital recorder
could have picked up something.

don't look right or sound right.
And then when they start
repeating themselves,
you take note.
What have you seen out here?
Well, lights.
Where did you actually see
the lights, now?
The activity itself is
taking place in these woods.
Orange balls of light --
they drop down to about
200 feet above the trees.
Travel up and down.
Some go across horizontally
along the horizon but...
Called my wife back here, check
it out with the binoculars.
She's looking at it,

I've worked with people

Yeah, there's another one
over here.
Hang on a second.

If you look at the top
of the tree,
it looks like it's been burned.
- Yeah.
We have burn marks that are
just a couple of days old.
Yet we have snow that's been
here for at least a week.
I don't see any tracks at all
anywhere in this area.
And so, now you have a focal
point of something
that's been hit, and you've got
a structure built at the base.
I want to go look over here.

over here that's got to be
at least 125 pounds
laying the other way.
And then we have a structure
over here with the same thing,
and then you've got
a burn mark.
So that's three structures
around three trees
that have been burned.
So far, it's weird,
but it could be so many things.
I have to see what else
Steve can show us out here
before I come to the conclusion
that any of this is UFO-related.
I think this is a perfect
location to set up a cam.
Probably over here,

pretty much tell
where there's activity
by the sound of dogs.

Can you hear those dogs?
HEATHER:
Yeah, we can hear them.
Okay, well, Steve had said that
the dogs would start
acting up
before the activity.
So, Steve, where do you think
a good spot
would be to put up a camera
for overnight?
Over this way,
and aim it that direction.
And then what about neighbors
and stuff?
Do I worry about them
taking our stuff overnight?
No, you ain't got to worry about
nobody doing nothing like that.

I get a big response.
Is that you messing
with my light?

At this point,
I'm inclined to believe
Steve about the experiences

Now, I didn't hear any voices

I believe, just based off
of watching him,
watching how emotional he got,
giving him the opportunity
to open up more hopefully
will give him
further opportunities
